Chapter 754: Legion of Honor
After the little cutie Richelieu agreed to Qin Ge's invitation for a date, Qin Ge nodded with relief.
After all, among these leaders, Bismarck was the least good at expressing his emotions, and Richelieu was the one who didn't know how to express his emotions at all.
She seems like a goddess who doesn't understand the worldly affairs. Even if you are close to her, you will feel that she is far away from you.
So Qin Ge was very worried that if she refused him when he was planning to date her, it would be awkward. That's why Qin Ge went to Richelieu to ask for her opinion.
The result was also very satisfactory. This goddess who seemed otherworldly in Qin Ge's eyes now had the thoughts of a mortal.
As time passed slowly, Qin Ge returned to his room and took a short rest before being called by Belfast.
Tonight is the banquet prepared for Qin Ge by Free Iris and the Vichy Church. Although he has attended many banquets during this period, this is also part of etiquette.
And among the ship girls traveling together, many of them had not fulfilled their agreement to dance with Qin Ge.
Qin Ge originally thought that for events like the Liberty Iris and the Vatican, the banquet should be held near the church, but he did not expect it to be held in an ancient castle used for receptions. After entering the door, Qin Ge could not help but laugh at himself for thinking too much.
"Welcome Commander Qin Ge and your ship girl to this welcome banquet. Thanks to your help, our Siren Tide was able to escape danger.
Here we pay our sincerest respects, and in the name of the Holy Iris, award Commander Qin Ge the honor of the Legion of Honor Badge, for your bravery, for your kindness, and for your glory.
May you also receive the blessings of God, Amen!"
Qin Ge was a little confused now. Although accepting the honor was a very happy thing, perhaps Iris and the other two were a little too unconventional, because in other camps, both sides only officially entered the ceremony after the welcome.
When welcoming Qin Ge, Richelieu had already taken out the badge and his own flag in his hand and put it on Qin Ge's shoulder.
However, judging from the reaction of Qin Ge, the ship girl behind her, there should be no danger. Otherwise, someone would have stopped her the moment Richelieu took out the flag.
Although the procedure was wrong, he still had to accept it. So Qin Ge immediately came to his senses and made a polite return gesture, and then Richelieu of Free Iris personally put the badge on Qin Ge's chest.
This is a golden medal, and it looks brilliant when worn together with medals from other camps. However, these medals alone have taken up half of the space on Qin Ge's left chest. If the medals from the nine camps are collected, the left side of his clothes will be full, right?
No, maybe I can start hanging on the right, Qin Ge thought randomly.
After the ceremony was completed, Qin Ge talked with Richelieu and Jean Bart for a while before officially entering free time.
Returning to where several leading ship girls gathered, Qin Ge asked about what had just happened with some confusion.
Veneto couldn't help but laugh and said, "They should be treating this as a knighthood ceremony, because to Iris, Richelieu is a cardinal archbishop, a figure second only to the Pope in the Vatican, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to meet him.
Therefore, every time a knight is awarded a medal, an audience with the cardinal is basically the last step, especially this kind of flag-carrying ceremony."
"Indeed, this method of awarding honors is second only to the Pope's awarding ceremony. Now there is no Pope in the Iris Theocracy, so this kind of ceremony is considered the highest." Richelieu nodded.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering if the process is completely different from the Royal, Northern Union, and Iron Blood." Qin Ge said suddenly.
"However, we cannot use such ceremony for respected guests. But I think they have taken this into consideration and regard you as a true comrade-in-arms." Bismarck said on the side.
"Well, actually I was a little dazed just now." Qin Ge couldn't help but smile, "But it really is a banquet with the flavor of irises. By the way, I just talked with Richelieu and Jean Bart about some issues about future cooperation. The requirements they put forward are similar to those of the other camps, and they are willing to make the greatest concessions.
After that, it will be a matter of negotiating some details and overall cooperation, and then we will have to trouble Bismarck and Richelieu.”
"That's no problem. It's my duty to fight for the interests of our fleet." Bismarck nodded.
"Yes, Commander." Although Richelieu already knew it, he still nodded.
"However, since Richelieu has something to do tomorrow, Enterprise will take over for the time being. Try to discuss some cooperation and planning between defense and communications tomorrow." Qin Ge looked at Enterprise and said.
Enterprise smiled and said, "Of course no problem. Commander, are you planning to take Richelieu out on a date tomorrow?"
The other people also looked at Qin Ge with great interest. Richelieu had followed him for a long time, so it was expected that he could get the ring. However, everyone still wanted to hear Qin Ge say it himself.
In the past, Qin Ge might have been embarrassed, but now he was no longer a fool, and nodded readily, "Yes, I'm going to go out on a date with Richelieu tomorrow. Although we've had dates before, this time it's different, so I have to delay for a day."
"Haha, it seems that the commander is planning to capture all the leaders of our major camps in one fell swoop. I wonder if the remaining few have rings?" Soviet Rossiya said with a smile.
Qin Ge touched his nose helplessly, "This can't be said to be a complete scavenger hunt. After all, as the leaders of the camp, you have been with me for a long time, and we have been in contact with each other more often both at work and in life, so we know each other well and have a deep relationship. For this reason, I chose to give you rings.
This does not mean that I will give you a ring just because you are the leaders of the faction. Just like I may give a ring to Amagi after I return, but I will never give a ring to Nagato..."
"Haha, Nagato is in that condition... If the commander sends it, he will probably be arrested and sent to jail, right?" Enterprise said jokingly.
"It's hard to say. After all, Nagato is not a destroyer, but a real battleship, and one of the world-famous Great Seven.
Although it is smaller in size, the regulations of the gendarmerie cannot apply to it." Bismarck said, holding his chin.
"In fact, I think some destroyers are also possible, like Z 23, Forbin, Ayanami, Javelin, etc. They have obviously deviated from the average little girl's body shape and are real girls. Even some cruisers can't compare to them." Veneto said with a smile.
Qin Ge coughed quickly, "Ahem, I'm off topic. Let's talk about this issue later. They are not in my plan for now."
"hehe."
